What's your biggest achievement?

Timmyctc

As above.
Does anyone have any achievements in life that they are particularly proud of. Could be anything big or small. Personally I don't know if I've achieved anything of note just yet, beyond maybe record breaking television binges and/or masturbation sessions, but I am interested in hearing all the cool and exciting things boardsies have achieved in their lives.

I knew nothing about car maintenance a year ago, and still didn't until january/ febuary when i got my new car, since then I've nearly took it apart and taught myself and learned a lot from others in the process, and now im restoring an older car because of it all, not bad for a 23 year old who last year didn't know what washer fluid was

This type of thing impresses me loads. The ability to just up and decide that you want a new skill and just doing it. I admire your committment sir/madam.

Sir, and thank you To be honest it wasn't out of deciding, it was more out of necessity, a simple service is a rather handsome three figure sum for it so i was like.... right so we're really doing this eh? righto!

This was 50 years after she won it, wasn't it.

I'd actually love to know more about this. Mostly because i'd love to do the same thing but wouldn't know where to start. How old was the car you got? And how did you go about it?

Paddy Cow

I was learning the violin and I was steadily moving up the grades and was heading towards grade three. I decided two months before the exam that i also wanted to do piano (I had done keyboard when I was younger) and my music teacher tried to put me off but when she realised I was serious she got on board.

I took the grade three exam for both and to be honest I expected to fail the piano one but I got 67%. I was prouder of that than I was of the violin one which I think I got 80+

I start back again with lessons in September and while I know I am weaker on piano than violin, I want to do the grade four exam on both. Just a little thing but for me I was walking on air when I passed the grade 3 piano exam

Pulled an unconscious man from a burning car pretty sure he would've been a goner. Served my apprenticeship in another country in a foreign language which I had only started learning 6 months before moving there.

Grayson

I went back to college to finish a degree I'd started years ago. I got a 2.1 at the end of my finals. I then went and did a masters. Still awaiting the final result but I got the highest result in my year in three modules.

The reason I'm proud of it is because I did it full time whilst working fulltime. I switched some shifts around so I could work weekends. I took long lunch breaks to attend lectures and I used every day of holidays I had. The masters wasn't as bad as the undergrad. During the undergrad I went 8 months where I didn't have a day off work or college. I had a timetable planned months in advance which gave me about 4 hours off a week. I went to the pub once over xmas.

I've done loads of other things that I'm proud off and could even brag about, but nothing I did took as much dedication as that undergrad.

Tokyo

Being part of Mountain Rescue for quite a few years - it's nice to know that there are people still sharing time with their families because we were able to help them.

Personal achievement, there have been a few. Everest BC is definitely up there though. Also moving to countries where I haven't been able to read, write or speak the language, and managing to learn how to.

Green Giant

It's certainly not an uncommon feat but the accomplishment I'm most proud of is passing my driving test (first time!)

I was always confident I'd reach my points total in the Leaving and that I'd graduate from college without having to repeat, but I struggled badly with learning to drive, so much so that I was actually afraid to get behind the wheel at one stage. Thankfully I stuck at it and never have I felt so proud about myself as the moment when the tester opened the door and told me "You can relax now, you've passed"

I owe that man a few pints!!

Used to be pretty good at rugby, represented my county (Warwickshire) and West Midlands, got a blue for Cambridge & played in the varsity match at Twickenham in 1989.

Now I look down at my beer belly and weep.

And, I suppose, raising two great kids; neither of which I have sold, lost etc.
